The rest is history.

A rare and unexpectedly personal look into the elite world of a Special Forces A-Team.--Jack Coughlin, Gunnery Sergeant, USMC, and New York Times bestselling author of Shooter

Along the way, they endured a U.S .Navy F-14 dropping a 500-pound bomb on supporting Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, the ever-present threat of WMDs, and countless other deadly obstacles.

Thoroughly detailed and carefully documented.a valuable addition to the growing list of Iraq war stories.--Army Times

This is the never-before-told, unsanitized story of how one Special Forces A-team recruited and organized, trained and eventually fought--and won--a legendary conflict that will influence American military doctrine for years to come.

A warts-and-all report that is strong in realistic detail and in paying tribute to the courage and endurance of the U.S. forces.--Booklist
